More akin to club motorsport where the aim is to go out and have fun with your car ........ rather than throwing everything into the first overtaking opportunity to be seen in front of you.

Well done mark and guys.

Things could have been very different... I recall Phil Gardner and I at the pre season test day watching Riku heading backwards towards the barrier on wet grass at Coram... could have easily been season over before it even began.

Another season done and another championship won... (TBC, Class E Quaife Modified Saloons)

Firstly need to say what a massive learning exercise this has been for me, for someone who found learning new stuff later in life a bit of a challenge, this has been a bonus and a great experience. I have carried out work I never would have undertaken before and its thanks to advice and encouragement of some professionals in other teams that has given me the confidence to do so. For that alone it has been worth every penny.

So to costs for this season.....

Entry fees: 8 events 14 races in total: £2250.00Test days: £0.00 a luxury we have had to do withoutFuel (race car) £307.65Tyres purchased in season: 6 x slick £1620.00 (of which we are left with one unused and 2 having done 2 races only) We had no wet races this year (apart from one which we had slicks on!) but ran 2 races on our old Direzza 1b tyres left over from last season.Spares/ purchased: £1613.27 Damage repair: £225.00 ( full cosmetic repair and re paint yet to be completed- car looking a lot less tidy then last season, will need a re paint repair and tidy up)Failures: Exhaust Manifold welding repair £40.00Oil: £54.44 (engine and gear oil still using last seasons stock so just one batch of gear oil purchased)Servicing/ set up carried out elsewhere: £0.00! (Thanks to John Miles Tyres for not charging for the many tyre swaps during the year.)Hours put in by myself......... Loads!Equipment/ tools purchased (mainly set up equipment so a long term asset) £500.00

My spread sheet shows £6443.04 for the year (some of the set up equipment was cash second hand so not included). Can deduct contributions from Riku to the entry fee's and Sponsorship from Eurolet which in total knock about £2000.00 off the total. Obviously this does not include vehicle fuel getting too and from the circuits but this was reduced this year by only visiting local circuits (Brands and Snetterton only).
